Perhaps one of Germany's most colorful cities, Cochem feels just like a storybook with its dramatic castle, impressive landscapes and pastel-colored shops, restaurants and buildings lining the banks of the Moselle. Perched high above on a cliff sits the brilliant Cochem Castle, or Reichsburg Cochem, which brings German history and culture to life and provides panoramic views of the Moselle and Cochem below, which you'll have the chance to see during the nighttime glow.

The picturesque town of Cochem is nestled in a particularly scenic area of the Moselle Valley. The Moselle River cuts through the town, leaving Cochem in two distinct halves on two steep hills. Discover Cochem's perfect quaintness on foot, with stops along the city wall's medieval gates and Marktplatz.

Its original purpose was that of protection, helping to ward off foreign aggression in the 1300s, but now it's a museum of local history and a beloved landmark.
